Open source model builders are no more entitled to rip off content owners than anyone else. I couldn't possibly care any less if this impacts "democratized access" to bullshit generators. At least if the big boys license the content then the rightful owners get paid (and have the option to opt out).
The copyright lobby has really done a number on public policy. Copyright was never meant to be perpetual.
I’m good with your proposal if we also revert to the original 14 year + 14 year extension model. As it stands the 120 year copyright is so ridiculously tilted that we should not allow it to extend to veto power over technical advancements.
Legal arbitrage isn't a technical advancement. The technical advancement was all the stuff that goes into LLMs not the part where we feed ever more copyright into models for AICorp to make money.
